About Amedisys Hospice Care

Amedisys Hospice Care in Dalton, Georgia provides specialized hospice care for individuals with terminal illnesses. Rather than pursuing curative treatment, the hospice focuses on pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and assistance for families and caregivers.

The care team includes nurses, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, and volunteers working together to develop personalized care plans. Services include nursing care, medication management, assistance with daily activities, emotional and spiritual support, and companionship. The hospice team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to meet patient and family needs.

The hospice offers specialized programs for patients with dementia, focusing on pain management and creating safe, comfortable environments as the disease progresses. For end-stage heart failure patients, the team manages symptoms and works to reduce hospitalizations. Additionally, Amedisys participates in the We Honor Veterans program to address veterans' unique end-of-life needs.

Family support extends beyond the patient's care. Social workers provide counseling for grief and end-of-life planning, while trained volunteers offer companionship and practical assistance. Families can access respite care and bereavement support groups, both virtual and in-person, with bereavement counselors available for up to one year after a loved one's passing.

Hospice services are typically covered 100 percent by Medicare Part A, Medicaid in most states, and many private or managed care insurance plans, with all medications, equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness included in coverage.

This was the hospice service my wife and I used for my father-in-law’s end of life care. We got a very shocking and sudden terminal diagnosis for him where we were told he had 2-3 weeks left to live. Understandably, we were overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do. This Amedysis team in Dalton went way above and beyond my expectations. Our nurse, Leah in particular, was very invested in my father-in-law’s care. It didn’t feel like someone just doing a job.<br><br>Leah, and the whole Amedysis team, told us what to do, what his meds were for, when to give them, how to keep him comfortable and worked well with the 24 hour caregiver team we hired for when we couldn’t be at the house with my father-in-law. They pick up the phone day or night. And I called multiple times a day near the end, and at all hours when I was scared or didn’t know if what I was seeing was normal or concerning.<br><br>Leah truly cared about my father-in-law, and cared about my wife and I too, frequently asking how we were holding up and how she could help. Leah and the rest of the team were a God send. I don’t know how we would have gotten through this terrible time in our lives without them.

The Amedisys team took such special care of my mother and helped us all through her last, precious days. I'm especially grateful to Leah, who really went above and beyond for us!

From the delivery people to the Clinical Nurse Manager, the staff could not have been finer. My husband's passing was without pain or sruggle and for that I am eternally grateful to them.
